I don't know - that remains for the equation. I can tell you that your rate will be the same as everybody elses - EVERYBODY. No more 49.5% not paying. You, me, and Warren Buffet and Bill Gates will all owe the same percentage.

We can't afford what we have today, and the moronic congresses and administrations of the past 100+ years made it that way.

You owe 1/300,000,000th of the debt, just like me. Time to pay up and quit whining.
